Hi Ace, I believe haiku is a very visual art form that allows the reader to feel a certain emotion because of the picture the ku is giving. On reading it the reader then can say aha I can see, feel that. If one thinks about the fragment and phrase of a haiku eg.
morning across the table eyes full of rain
here without mentioning an emotion the reader then makes their own interpretation. For such a short form, I think there are more rules for haiku than any other :(
big sighs here I did enjoy you ku and it certainly started my brain working overtime..haven't written one for ages..
take care Alice
